The fastest way to move across the ground is to spray some water in front of you (or get wet) and dive onto the ground. Some erfer to this as a '''slide'''. You need a reasonably lenthy piece of real estate to perform this on - it is not useful for very short distances. You can pick up tremendous speed if you hold the joystick full tilt while sliding (though not as fast as the Turbo Nozzle). Practice on Gelato Beach to see how fast it is. This trick applies to several challenges in this game (and, obviously, speed running).

You need a reasonably lenthy piece of real estate to perform this on - it is not useful for very short distances. You can pick up tremendous speed if you hold the joystick full tilt while sliding, rivalling that of the Turbo Nozzle! Practice on Gelato Beach to see how fast it is.

If the space is too short to belly slide, the fastest way to move unaided is to '''B-dive-and-A-flip''' (sometimes referred to as BA-flip, or just flip). It's performed just as you read it - dive with the B button and flip-out with the A button. Repeat this dive pattern over and over. The dive-action itself is not very fast, but the flip-action is.
